This site is about saving money??? Here's how!Look for a jap made Toyota Yaris (not french rebadge) 1.0 vvti pre 2000.These cars are statistically the best used mot pass vehicles out there. They are phenomenal vehicles. Both my wife and I own one. There are some recorded 300,000 milers still running on a 1.0 with diesel performance. Good ones are worth their weight in gold. Don't believe me....ask honest john. He raves about them:-)

No, not at all, the cars looked perfectly fine to me. The inspector just wrote out mega reports detailing every little mark etc and just seemed like they expected the cars back looking like new. Also they didn't have a choice of where to get the required work done, they just had to pay the billoO

I inherited the car 8 years ago, so have little attachment to it, it was never the intention to sell it on and I never thought it would last this long but it doesn't want to go. It's a banger, nothing to look at but starts and goes simple as that. It was in the garage a few weeks ago for something small, could have done it myself but to old for that now, and the garage who you can trust agrees no need for a service it's just not worth it and the oil and coolant are fine. Each to their own its served us well for what it is and what we expected from it and outlay gas been minimal cheapest motoring but now not worth spending any more on it.

For just 3p a day you can prolong the life of your dying car. Thats all it costs for a diy oil and filter change on an old car. Not changing the oil is disrespectful to the car for what it gives you back.

It stated 15000 on the policy but that does sound quite a bit. According to what car after 3 years the car will be worth over 17000 grand. Not sure if the cars short fall would be over 15000 so 5000 grand should suffice. What does everyone else think

On checking with ala.co.uk you can get gap insurance for about 100 and with tyre cover 150. So if you buy over the two year that would be 300 and would include a new set of tyres just in case you manage to puncture them all accidentally !!!

Very well, I'm man enough to admit I am wrong and this is a website glitch. Will expire the deal.

Added to the description an hour after my last comment. How sad.

I don't know how you can consider a website bug, which they won't honour to be a good deal.

It's always a gamble, but most reasonable mileage cars you buy for £3500 aren't going to develop hugely expensive faults in 18 months if they're properly checked before you buy them. Even if they do develop a fauly which costs you £500, you're still up on any lease deal when you come to sell it. As I said, I can understand leasing a prestige badge car which is going to lose huge amounts of value and cost an arm and a leg should anything go wrong but not a C1

I think you're naive if you think that most people know how to spot a bad used car in the £3.5k region. You're either trawling dodgy used car markets or trying to find something privately. You're also being very one sided when talking about a possible £500 repair, you can easily buy a £3500 car and find it needs a £1500 repair. My dads old Mondeo was worth £3k and needed a new turbo for the TDi engine which would have cost £1500. A lot of used car garages whole business model is buying cars with issues that can be masked for long enough to flog to unsuspecting customers.

By your logic though a car like a C1 which will lose a huge percentage off it's value (compared to say a Mini or an S3) when first bought would be a good lease surely?

Thanks for checking. Their website is really buggy. Changing the mileage to 8k does indeed display 24 months, but hit Refresh and it goes back to 18 months. Perhaps that explains why they say "Please be aware that prices may vary from those displayed" at the bottom of the page... (_;)

Agreed this deal should be expired, as it NEVER existed in the first place.

That's a complete myth, you do not lose any VAT on the car. Prices are dictated by the market. Look at the BMW mini, you could sell a year old example for the price you originally paid for it due to demand. So where did the VAT loss go?

Be it government, newspapers, general population, politicians. Basic management rule: always try to solve the biggest issue first, the 80/20 outcome/efforts etc.Talking about benefits when corporation and banking fraud is not solved, although it is much easier to do so, is useless.By the way, "non british nationals"?

If you want to drive a new car or a nearly new car and a rental/lease … If you want to drive a new car or a nearly new car and a rental/lease agreement will cost you the same or less per month than the depreciation in ownership term for buying it, why is rental a colossal waste of money (and a cardinal sin to some here)?I do get visions of Samuelsmith and Co never eating out, because it's cheaper to eat beans on toast at home, faithfully cutting out tokens from the Sun to get a £9.50 holiday , because spending anything more is a waste, drinking indoors because those greedy pubs want more than 60p a pint etc. What a fun life to lead.HUKD users should concern themselves with one thing. If you buy product X from supplier Y, is there a supplier Z that can supply it cheaper? If not, then it is a bargain if you're in the market to buy a product X. If you do see the same item for sale/rent cheaper elsewhere then please do tell us the details for supplier Z, so we can stop using supplier Y.HUKD is for saving money on the things you'd buy anyway, not for passing judgment on people's lifestyles. Smart buying is not just for the skint and tight.Good advice for anyone is to live within your means no matter what you buy. If you can run a nice car, live in a nice house and go on nice holidays within your means then why the hell not? My Grandad lived like a pauper for the 20 years after my Nana died, and left £300k in his will, which his kids spent. I'd much rather he spent it on himself and got out and enjoyed life a bit more before he died.You're a long time dead, enjoy what you've got, while you've got it. If that includes the pleasure/appreciation/lack of hassle that some might get from driving a nice car then why not.
